"The meat was still cold and sweating like it had been frozen and was thawing in the sun for awhile," the Volusia County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook. "Several were very mushy. The meat appeared have the consistency and smell of liverwurst."

In 2015, the officer who responded to Tuesday's incident found meat stuffed with pills inside the same small dog park.
